Where did author Robin Hyde live in Whanganui? Who sang "There's a porpoise close behind us, and he's treading on my tail"? Which New Zealand poet called himself Hemi?
Quizzers and literature lovers can test their knowledge at the Whanganui Literary Festival quiz on Friday, with quiz master Grant Hird
putting together a variety of questions and formats.
"It's not a dry and dusty quiz like some of those books you have left on the top shelf and forgotten about," Hird said.
"Prepare to be surprised."
Some questions will be a bit cryptic and others will need a true/false answer or be multi-choice. There will be a visual section, international topics and others relating to publishing, the film industry and theatre. One section will test punters' knowledge of the Whanganui literary scene.
